• Manage text-heavy, multi-page documents while maintaining visual consistency and professional presentation
• Quality-check all files for layout, spacing, alignment, image quality, and production specifications
• Manage multiple concurrent projects and meet deadlines
• Collaborate with internal publishing, marketing, and editorial teams

**Required Qualifications:**

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign (essential)
• Professional graphic design and publication layout skills
• Demonstrated experience designing books, publications, magazines, or multi-page print projects
• Strong understanding of typography, grids, paragraph and character styles, master pages, image placement, and print production workflows
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Ability to produce print-ready files to commercial standards
• Excellent attention to detail and consistency
• Project management skills — ability to work from concept through final production independently
• Legally authorized to work in the United States
• English fluency; Arabic or Urdu language skills required

**Preferred Qualifications:**

• Three or more years of graphic design experience with Illustrator and Photoshop

**Benefits:**

• 401(k) plan
• Health and dental insurance
• Paid time off
• Employee assistance program

**Application Requirements:**

Applicants must submit a portfolio demonstrating InDesign-based work, preferably including books, magazines, catalogs, or educational materials.
